To all whom it may concern:

llc it known that l, MAX l-lensnovrrz, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Ohii-ogo, in the county of Cook and Stateof Illinois, have invented :1 new and-useful Im- 1 provement in Attachments for Incandescent (las-Mantles, of which the following is a 1 specification.

My invention relates to inverted incandescent gas mantles, and the object of my shall wit to the burner sulllcient air for the purposes of combust on, and at the same time prevent particles of the mantle and the products of combustion from falling from the mantle and setting fire to objects below 1 ht. The manner inwhich I attain this dfiject is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, taken in connection with this s cification, and is then pointed out in the c aims at the end of the specification.

In the drawing, Figure #1 is a View looking down from the top upon an in'i'crtcil incandescent gas month supplied with my attachn'iont; Fig. #2 is a side iew and Fig. #3 is a bottom View; Fig. is a view of one form of dish forming part of my attachment nnd'Fig, #5 iso. View showing a modification of said disk.

An expensive feature in connection with the use of inverted incandescent gas mantles hasbccn the gloss globes, which it has been necessary to place around the mantle to pre vent objects coming in contact with the mantle. (llohos 1mm also proved some what misstisfiu'tm y lit-cause it has been dis-- covercd. that sullicionl air-is not usually ailmittod to-the humor by forming holes on tho side of the globe. so lhul glohos lmvo been usually lffillfill'lll'lt'il mlh o largo uponing at. the lmtlnuu mill through surh u on lugs. fi'nginr-uts of llH. h t nuiulli- :u'o liuhlc in fall onto ihlllmll' m lahli' below the humor and ('llllHU lhw. .lly invention oh vintos those ilisiulvnulugcs liy ermitting the use of the mantle without z: glnho, thus saving the expense of tho glolw. providingsuilcient protection to prevent objects fron rcoming in contact with the uuuitle, and atthc some time preventing particles of the mantle from falling totho floor hclow the bi'irner.

The mantle a is provided with the customary ring 0 made of fire clay, on which are made the lugs c, by means of which the mantle is fastened to the burner. These lugs c are made with short arms extending outwardly from the circumference of the ring 1).. Over these outwardly extending arms, are sprung loops d formed on'the ends of the wires 6, which extend downwardly from said loops d close'to the outside of the mantle a. and at their loivcr extremities'are formed, by bending. into small horizontal spirals f, between the threads of which is held the disk 9, made of isi'nglass, mice or other suitable nniterilil. which is thus held.

in place immediately below the mantle. The wires? permit the handling of the'mantle without the touching ofit, and also aflord sullicicnt brotection to prevent objects coming in contact with the mantle. The disk g is trmislucent and nonintlamniuble, and at the some time catches any particles of the burning mantle which may fall from the mantle.

ll, on account of the convenience in han- (lllllg' tho numtlc, it is dcsiredto use a mantle provided with this attachment in connection with a globe, then a small opening h must be out in tho w oof the dislt g as indicated in Fig. I. This opening may be much sumller than the opening in the globe, and oven with the oponiug in it, the disk will catch most particles of the burning mantle which fall.

ll will be obvious that the desired result may he obtained by the use of only one wire; also that other suitable means may be used for fastening the wire to the holder of the month and for fastening the translw rout dish below the month without depart ing from the spirit of my in rout-Lon.

Having now cicsrrihcc'l my invention What I claim as new and desire to secure by Le tors .lotoni of" the United States is;

to said wires at their lower ends and thereby ring having lugs exiendifif; outwardly ther'vlwld in place heneaih #uid mantle.

from, a mantle secured to said rin a pillrality of wires having loo 5 fm'mei at their 4. In combination :1 mantle-suppn-rling upper ends fitting over sai lugs and a trans ring, a mantle secured in said ring; a translucent, nun-inflmmnable disk attached to lucent non infimmmilile disk and means for said wires at their lower ends and therehyl supp'ortin r said disk from said ring helmv held in place beneath said mantle. said mant e. 3. In' combination a mantle-supporting ring, a mantle secured toeaid ring, a ph rahty of wires, means for ethic-lung said 1 wires at their upper ends to said ring, and a translucent non-mflammable disk attached AX H EliSK OVl'lZ.
